Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. My name is Jon and I'm 20 years old from Tampa, FL and a hotrod fanatic. No hot rods yet, but hopefully picking up a '72 Ford Mustang at the end of the month, so I'll be doing alot of lurking / reading till then. My uncle has a '34 Dodge that I'm hoping to help but some wrench time into once he wants to get it back up and running.
Hey man, Welcome to the forum. I wish you luck with the 72 mustang (71-73 are some of my favorites) I am 37 but have been into hot rods and muscle cars since I was Knee high to a tool box (thanks to my dad) so I admire you getting into them. Take care. What is the mustang like? Don Jr
I've only checked out what I could see by doing a walk around. Doesn't seem like it has too much rust (seen some by the top windshield area and a few spots new the rear fenders). Can tell it was red and painted over black. Interior looks like it is all there but the dash has a big crack in the center. Overall it doesn't look like it's in that bad of condition but I'm sure I'll find more if I get and start to strip it down.
Welcome from another Floridian. :D I too like that series of Mustang. If you get it, post up some pictures for us, we LOVE pictures. :)

Welcome aboard..This is a good place with good folks.
Welcome to the board, lotsa floridians here. If you need an experienced (OLD) ear to bend I'm in Dunedin:whacked:
Will keep that in mind, I'm sure I'll be hitting you up. Did you go out to the hot rod show at the Florida State Fairgrounds?
Welcome! I visit your neck of the woods atleast once a year. I have family that lives in Tampa, and we stay on their property in Plant City while we are there.
Jon, welcome aboard, you're going to have a great time here, lots of friendly, knowledgeable guys willing to help. As you can see, I'm also in Lutz and haven't been here very long but have learned an awful lot already. Hope you get the Mustang, good luck. BTW, I did go to the NSRA Nats at the fairgrounds this weekend, all 3 days, it was hot and humid!!!

Welcome to CHR. Great to have some young people into the classics and hot rods. Are you looking to get a fastback or sedan? I had a 68 when I was your age, mom had a 69!
Lots of Bullet fans here if you sway to the fastback side!:3dSMILE:
Sounds good, runs good, and it has a 351c :D . Now just have to talk numbers.
It's a coupe (non fastback) stovens.
Welcome,

GLad to see your here,i own a 1970 cougar convertible ever since i was 15 in 1989 and love it every time i drive it and get the thumbs up and the head turns and stares and the finger points.Nothing like that kind of feeling i tell ya.
